Hi guys, thanks for all your help thus far. I've just successfully funded my teensy project on Indiegogo (www.datalooperpedal.com) and am going to be doing a manufacturing run of about 150 units. I'm currently using the Teensy LC in my prototypes, which works great, but was thinking about switching to the Teensy 2.0 and wanted some advice. My main reason for wanting to make the jump is the amount of EEPROM memory. I have 36 addressable 'buttons' (3 banks of 12) that I'd like to store routines for...the 128 bytes of EEPROM on the Teensy LC doesn't leave me with many options, whereas the Teensy 2.0's EEPROM gives me lots of flexibility.
Here are my questions:
1. My teensy code is more or less just detecting button presses, releases and long presses and sending out USB MIDI SysEx messages. Is there any reason why an 8-bit processor wouldn't do this just as well?
2. I'm planning on using a multiplexer to address numerous RGB LEDs from the limited PWM pins..will I run into any issues doing this on the Teensy 2.0 due to the slower processor speed?
3. Is the Teensy 2.0 dev process any different & is the USB MIDI library still supported in full?
4. Alternatively, I found this thread (https://forum.pjrc.com/threads/34537-Teensy-LC-Increase-EEPROM-Size) and was wondering if that method is legit. I could meet my needs with 255 bytes of EEPROM & the Teensy LC.
Thanks again guys, you've been super helpful thus far.
Best,
